Hoffa fracture of medial unicondylar and bilateral in a man: A rare case

Abstract

Intra articular Coronal fracture of the femoral condyle (Hoffa) is rare-especially that of medial condyle. We report the case of a patient who had a bilateral Hoffa fracture of the medial condyles (type 33 - B3, Orthopaedic Trauma Association) occurred as a result of an accident at work (worker mover). Lesions were treated with the functional and orthopaedic approach.At follow- up of 8-month functional score was excellent with normal flexion, an absence of laxity, an absence of pain and an unlimited market. Through a review of the literature the mechanism, the diagnostic methods and therapeutic will be analysed.
